November 29, 2016 at 06:33PM Forestry concessions: towards a new type of governance that overlaps industrial and community rights

Industrial forestry concessions have existed for over a century in Africa. They have often been criticized for their limited contribution to rural development and for the blurring of customary land rights. In Central Africa, concessions have resulted in the establishment of specialist areas in which concession holders and local populations are mutually exclusive. In the light of this, a new type of forestry concession, both multi-use and multi-user, is emerging. CIRAD suggests a model, to be called "Concession 2.0". This type of concession recognizes customary territories within and around concessions, through participatory mapping. It organizes sharing of the revenue derived from wood indexed on the extent of the customary territories within the concession and contracts signed with communities. It enables the development of resources other than timber, in association with local people. It introduces the concept of governance shared between the various stakeholders. Lastly, it fosters the emergence of community concessions, exclusive areas potentially associated with the industrial concession. What remains, to ensure the evolution of this new vision of territorial forestry development that combines inclusive management and exclusive rights, is to mobilize support from public development aid and to adapt the legislation.
